My Mission

Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent


Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Dogfighting Penalties Increased – VIDEO

What is dogfighting?More and more states and increasing the penalties for anyone involved in dogfighting, including the spectators.  No longer can people claim “they were just watching” and expect to walk away scott-free.  No longer can people videotape the graphic violence and get away with it.

Last week Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick signed a bill to help police crack down on dogfighting by increasing the penalties for aiding or attending an animal fight.

The bill increases penalties from a $250 and a year in prison to $1,000 and two and a half years behind bars.

WARNING – The video contain graphic images!

    ‘Sabout time!, and I can’t wait for those first few sadists to go to jail/prison, as examples, for 2.5 years and pay a grand for the “pleasure” of exercising their disease.

    I love animals….I’m so glad that they are making higher penalties when it comes to dog fights even for the spectators..It should be higher for any kind of animal abuse…it’s about time i feel…..Diane :-)

  • LET THOSE MORONS GO TO PRISON…NOT JAIL..MAYBE THEY CAN BE SOMEONE’S TOY BOY! BETTER YET, MAYBE THEY WILL GET SHANKED! THESE SADISTS NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF OF THE PLANET, EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE SICK MINDED ABUSERS AND KILLERS. MICHAEL VICK SHOULD BE USED FOR TARGET PRACTICE, THE WORTHLESS SCUM…OH THAT’S RIGHT, HE’S NOT WORTHLESS AS HE CAN PLAY BALL, JUST SCUM WITH AIR BETWEEN HIS EARS. THE DEVIL IS WAITING FOR THAT BOY!
